When TC Electronic released the Ditto Looper, we here at TheToneKing.com were way too excited over its intuitive design and functionality. Well, prepare for your pants to get a little bit tighter. Here comes the next logical step in TC Electronic looper innovation.

The Ditto X2 Looper has everything in it that made the Ditto Looper the greatest thing since sliced bread, tops that off with another slice of functionality, and makes a looper sandwich full of awesome.

Is anybody else hungry?

The Ditto X2 Looper includes a two-button user interface. It also has two loop effects that players have been begging for, including: reverse and 1/2 speed. You can also import and export loop on PC or Mac. And, yes. You can run backing tracks.

After you’re done cleaning yourself up, make sure you check the press release below for the whole scoop. And, stay tuned to TheToneKing.com for more NAMM SLAMM 2014!

TC Electronic Announces Ditto X2 Looper

Risskov, Denmark, January 14th 2014 – TC Electronic announces Ditto X2 Looper, the logical heir to the looping throne after the smash hit Ditto Looper. Ditto X2 Looper houses all the features that made the original Ditto Looper such a runaway hit, while adding key additions such as a two-button UI and effects, based on feedback from the guitar community and TC Electronic’s continuous drive to innovate guitar products. Ditto Looper X2 is available in stores from March 1st and will be available at $179.99 suggested US retail/ 169 € EU SSP / £145 UK SSP.

New to Ditto X2 Looper is a stereo I/O and a 2-button User Interface that allows for a dedicated stop/clear footswitch and a button for effects. The FX button allows guitarists to trigger 2 types of loop effects: reverse and ½ speed. In addition, Ditto X2 Looper allows for the import and export of loops on both PC and Mac and Ditto Looper can run backing tracks, keeping all performance essentials neatly in one place.

Of course, Ditto X2 Looper features the same true-bypass, analog dry-through design, ultra-small footprint and 24 bit uncompressed high quality audio as the original Ditto Looper. And like Ditto Looper, Ditto X2 Looper features 5 minutes of looping time, unlimited overdubs and undo/redo functionality.

Tore Mogensen, Business Manager for TC Electronic adds: “Looking back, we knew we had something special with Ditto Looper, but nothing could have prepared us for the runaway success we’ve experienced since launch. What we’re trying to do with Ditto X2 Looper is basically continue on that wave, while adding some of our renowned innovational spirit after hearing feedback from the guitar community. I’m not a fortune teller or anything, so I’m not looking into a crystal ball, but I’ll tell you this: Looping just got even more exciting and I can’t wait to see this reflected in live performances around the world!”
